A CONSTABLE'S PLIGHT.
A Prisoner Throws Him Flat on His
Back and Upsets His Assistant

II PRISONER Throws Hlm fldU on his
Back and Upsets His Assistant.
A colored man named Henry Sutton
struck and maltreated a woman named
Matte Smith in Smithville few days ago,
and yesterday she swore out a warrant for
his arrest before Justice Waring Russell.
Constable White went out to arrest him,
and hearing that he was desperate charac-
ter, he took Scott Thurman with him. They
caught the fellow in Smithville and started
in with him. He was quiet and peaceable
enough until they reached South Broad
street, when he made a break to
get away. He was caught, how
ever, before he could start to run.
The constable and his assistant then caught
him by the waistband of his trousers and
marched him along to the Justices office.
While they were crossing State street SUIT
ton made another effort to gain his freedom.
He was walking quietly along one minute,
but the next he was running for dear life
down the street, while Thurman was bal
ancing himself on his head like a circus
actor, and Constable White was lying fiat
of his back The astonished officers recov-
cred themselves, however, and gave chase,
and finally succeeded in landing the obstrep-
erOuS prisoner in Jail

MINSTRELsY MAKES A HIT.
Haverly's Burnt Cork Comedians Be
fore a Packed House.

fore Packed House.
Haverly's Minstrels played before packed
house last night-parquet. dress circle,
balcony and the "loft" were jammed. 1t
was, with perhaps one exception, the biggest
house of the season. The performance was
a long one, and it kept the audience laugh
ing through it ALL The gallery gods''
nearly shook themselves to pieces. Like all
minstrel performances, there was same
ness about it that was tiresome, and yet the
audience thought it funny and laughed
as though it had never seen anything
like it before. In spite Of the sameneSs the
performance, like all of Haverly's, was well
up to the standard. The singing was first
class and the dancing and speciality acts
were all of them good. THE great and
only Hilton's" contortionist feats were
MARVEL and the march of the "Hessan
Dragons" was a splendid feat of military
maneuvring on n small scale. Lew Spen
Ger and George Edwards in their songs and
comicalties, into which some new jokes
found their way, caught the house, and the
''hustling" act by Kayne, Norcross and
Reinhart was roaring conclusion to a cap
ital performance A special matinee will
be given this afternoon and concluding
performance tonight.

Health and Comfort,

In all ages and countries the foot has re-
ceived as much attention as any other por-
ton of the human body. 1t should be as
well dressed and as we'll cared for as the
hand. The problem now is, how fashion
ably to cover it, preserving it's beauty and
its health. The covering to be of good quail
ity and good workmanship, hence having a
durability equal to any. The problem is
solved. A. S. Cohen, 1875 Broughton
street, finds no difficulty in fitting his Gus
toners. Persons living out of the city can
have an accurate fit by sending the size and
width of the shoe usually worn. All grades
and styles are to be found in this establish
ment, where is kept Solid Comfort Shoes,
combined with style and beauty.

A Bargain in Every Purchase,

Is the rule of the Famous" northeast cor
ner Congress and Whitaker streets. We
hold out no inducements in one article we
sell, and then charge more on another to
make up. Positively every purchase
made of us is a bargain, whether it is in
Clothing, Gentlemens Furnishing Goods,
Hats, Trunks or Umbrellas. How can we
do so! Plain enough. Two of the firm are
constantly on the lookout in New York for
goods in our line, with the ready cash, buy
ing only at the lowest prices, manufacture
ing all the clothing there, thereby saving
to our patrons the retailers profit, which is
at least SO 80 to s. 90 on a suit or overcoat.
Beside that, it enables us to have our cloth
ing made up and trimmed better than ordi-
narily done by manufacturers, as we make
them up for our own sale, and strive to have
our customers pleased, not only when they
purchase, but also in the wearing of the
garment. We are thankful for the patron
age received, and can thank ourselves for
receiving so much of it, by giving the good
quality of Clothing for such low prices

Matthias Kideilin, young man 20 years
of age, in Norlingen, just before his death,

he WAS SATISFIED.
In All His Travels He Was Never So
Much SURPRISED.


A stranger, who is visiting Savannah for
his health, was passing along Broughton
street after supper last night and noticed,
as he came in front of the Ludden e. Bates
Music House, that all the employees we're
busily engaged in decorating and beautify-
ing the interior The electric lights were
brightly burning and everything inside the
building presented a scene Of activity and
life. Going in to see why such extra pains
were being taken, he made a careful survey
and remarked: "This beats anything l
have ever come across, in my sightseeing
win you tell me if tomorrow is a holiday
in Savannah If so, what event do you in
tend celehratingF' And he looked around
as if he expected an answer. Just at
that time he heard a voice. 1t
came from a newsboy, who looked at the
stranger in blank establishment He gave
prolonged whistle and startled the old
gentleman with "W here are you from, Mis-
ter. You certainly don't live anywhere in
this country. If you did you'd know that

Lottery Tickets Furnish a Wedding

PORTLAND, Me, Oct. 19.-South Port

bit of romance. For months Louisiana
State Lottery tickets have been extensively
dealt out here, and few persons have had

Cole, and his betrothed, Miss jackson, in
somewhat poor circumstances, concluded to
try their luck, and each paid SOC. for one

Making Haste Slowly

The Rural Resort railway is still progress
ing slowly, evidently waiting for something
to turn up. Possibly good way to
secure the public the much desired
street railroad facilities to the
wharves would be for the new company
to transfer its rights TO the old company,
and let the latter complete and operate the
new line. 1t would save litigation and
probably pay as well to all concerned.

THE WORST YET TO COME.
The Coolest Weather to be Felt This
Morning-Another Cold Wave.

The Coolest Weather to be Felt This
Morning-Another Cold Wave
The cold wave inclined slightly toward
the northeast, and relieved this section of
the country to a certain extent. Yesterday
morning it seemed as if the cold spell had
broken, for the thermometer in the north
west rose to 25', but it soon began to de-
cline, and last night it was below zero again,
indicating another cold wave. Last night
the temperature was below freezing
point in Pennsylvania, New York and
the New England States, but in
the remainder of the country, except
in the Northwest, where the new wave was
felt, it was more moderate. The signal SER
vice officer says that the coolest weather
will be felt here this morning. 1t is
probable that the weather will then begin
to moderate unless the second cold wave is
a severe and lasting one.

AT THE SENDER'S RISK.
Mail Matter That Will Probably Never
Reach It's Destination.

Some people are in the habit of leaving
first-class and other mail matter on the top
of the mail boxes. and especially at those
buildings in which boxes are placed for the
convenience of guests, travellers and for the
public generally.
All such matter is left in such condition at
the risk of the senders, and the mail carriers
can in no way be held responsible for their
loss or non-delivery. 1t is just as easy, it
would appear, TO place letter in box with
an opening in it as on the top of such box.
Packages that are too large for the opening,
the postoffice officials suggest ought to be
sent to the postoffice.

Southwestern Virginia Synod, advocated
accepting the designations of the Board of
Missions-not that he had not the most in-
plicit confidence in their ability and their
willingness to advance the interests of the
synod, for the work they had already per.
formed proved conclusiveiy that they were
peculiarly fitted for this work; but he
thought the synod should shape the course
Of the Board of Missions rather than the
board dictate the policy of the synod. He
was sorry that the discussion had reached
such an extreme point, but as long as it had
they might as well face it and dispose of the
question. He intimated that unless some
thing was done, and done Immediately,
to relieve the Richmond mission, that
they would have TO go elsewhere for assist
ance, and that would entail a separation
from the United Synod. The threat of the
Board of Missions to resign and that of the
Virginia Synod to withdraw, followed up
by the announcement that its representa-
tives had decided to withdraw the appeal
for help from the United Synod, caused
considerable CONSERVATION, and it was de-
cided to take recess until $3.50 o'clock, and
IN the meantime endeavor to patch up the
differences.
STILL INHARMONIoUS.
Those of the members who were inclined
TO assume the Office of peacemakers had
plenty to do after the adjournment. The
stormy scenes of the morning session filed
them with fear, and they hoped that the
difficulty could be settled before the after
noon session would be called to order, but
no such luck was in store for them. After
the members had enjoyed their dinners they
gathered in groups in front of the church
and discussed the question which had wor-
ried them all the morning, and many of
them became greatly interested ir the sub
ject-so much so, in fact, that they made
improinptu addresses to those gathered
about them.
At $50 o'clock, the hour appointed for
reassemblng, no settlement had been
agreed upon and the afternoon session was
not called to order for ten minutes or more
When the members had assembled it was
noticed that some Of the most earnest adj
vocates Of the cause Of the Virginians were
absent. Before the discussion was renewed
